why I can't store image into mysql?

I'm a newbie. I hope to store image into mysql database with php in windows 2k system.

I discover that I can store it into database by use mysql statement.

but when I use php script to read image file's content, I notice that only a few part of image can read, It lost a lot of data.

when I use this script in linux, it worked good.

One thing that you may want to check is the size that the field can store in the database. I am guessing that may be the problem.

My advice is to forget all about storing images in a database, it's pointless.
